About the ADM Registry

The Application Deployment Manager (ADM) registry is an XML file located in the MgmtSrvrInstallDir\ADM directory of the Siebel Management Server. The default filename for the preconfigured ADM registry is adm_registry.xml. This file defines the ADM deployment behavior by declaring deployment attributes and characteristics for each supported ADM deployment type, including:

Defining the business services and methods necessary to deploy the ADM data types

ADM Registry File Structure. The ADM registry file is a hierarchical XML file with the top level defined as the deployment category (i.e. data category); that is, file, repository, and database categories. All common deployment parameters in a category are defined at this level. The categories are then further divided into the sublevels representing the ADM deployment types (i.e. data types). The deployment behavior specific to each ADM data type is defined at this level.

At the deployment category level, the ADM registry records the following properties:

MBean name (the MBean that handles the deployment of this category)

MBean version

Validation rules for the category

Default operations for the category

At the deployment type level, the ADM registry records the following properties:

Deployment parameters

Activation parameters

Restore parameters (if any)

ADM data type-specific parameters

The parameters defined at the ADM category level are inherited by each individual ADM data type. However, an individual ADM data type can override these parameters with other values or provide its own properties if necessary.

NOTE: The "deployment type" and "deployment category" labels used in ADM registry XML file respectively equate to the "data type" and "data category" labels referenced elsewhere throughout this document.
